I hope everyone enjoyed the CNY celebration we had last Saturday. I’ve received numerous feedbacks about how great all the performances were, and they enjoyed the delicious foods we served. Great thanks to all students, teachers, parents, Michigan Lion Dance team, and our VIPs!

College Application Workshop (1/28/23 3:30-5:00pm) 
Irina Chen (陳思憫) is an Ann Arbor Chinese School alum and currently the Assistant Director of a college counseling company. She has helped students get admitted to schools such as Yale, Columbia, Stanford, and MIT and has worked with over 30 Former Admissions Officers (people who have read, accepted, rejected, and waitlisted students at the admissions table). She will be conducting a presentation titled “10 Tips for College Applications”. Irina is currently working with several Michigan-based students in the 9-12th grades to strengthen their college application profile and this presentation will be great for anyone who is interested in learning more.

) 
We are collaborating with Detroit RiverFront Conservancy again to celebrate this year’s Lunar New Year! Chinese school Students will perform the very popular Lion Dance, Dragon Parade, and Dragon Dance. And, MITAI volunteers will have several tables of Taiwan cultural displays and interactions. For example, you will get to have your name written in Chinese or you can take a cute zodiac lantern home if you come early!

今年我們再次與 Detroit RiverFront Conservancy 合作慶祝農曆新年！ 來自幾所中文學校的學生們將表演非常受歡迎的舞獅、舞龍和遊行，MITAI的義工們也會準備幾桌台灣文化的展示與互動，例如可以在紅包上寫自己的中文名字或請義工們翻譯，來得早的話還可以帶個可愛的生肖燈籠或天燈回家！

There will be a lot of fun! Please bring your family and friends and let’s celebrate together!
會很熱鬧喔！ 請帶您的家人與朋友一起來慶祝吧！
